In terms of compensation they offered about 10% more than what I was expecting as a floor and it is marginally more than what my starting salary was as a Geologist 15 years ago. I expect that salary progression should be pretty decent and steady and I anticipate that opportunities will be plentiful as I establish some experience in the field

My first assumption was you landed another geologist role so my apologies.
Just wondering how long it took to acquire the new qualifications, cost of the schooling, and where you did it. Good job btw for the quick pivot. You’ve also helped prove to everyone here that is is indeed possible.
